  • I got stuck an utterly embarrassing amount of hours on this the other day because I recently changed my password but managed to set it with a typo.

    I know it is correct, I wrote it down in my password manager, what the heck is going on, have I bern hacked? Do I have extremely specific disk corruption?

    At the end I was wondering if the password algorithm was hitting some dodgy hardware (ram, rdseed32…) and just sat numbly and entered the password over and over again to see if it behaved differently. …and on one of those attempts I managed to do the same typo and the mystery was solved.

    Software dev here. I am good at it, and people pay me unreasonably high rates to come in and do things faster and better than they can.

    It AI coding tools were useful, I’d use them.

    AI slows me down twice:

    • 60% productivity loss whenever I try to use it for anything else than a code search engine.
    • When I have to follow up the -1x engineers who are using AI to become -10x engineers.

    I have yet to see an AI adopter who actually gets shit done in a way that is meaningful to anyone exept their own psychotic selves.

    “With Claude I managed to do this in one hour!” Bro, what you did was generate 120 lines of Javascript that badly reimplements what could be a single line of CSS. You could have used that hour to learn some CSS.

    “Without AI coding tools, our team would have taken at least a month to make this barely-working standalone image upload page.” My brother in Christ you are proudly yelling at me that you are fucking incompetent! A webdev worth their salary can shit out something better than that in their lunchtime bathroom break!

    Yeah but it’s not good for “thE eCOnOMy”:

    An efficient system just has fewer cracks to jam in rent-seeking, regulatory capture, artificial needs, fomo, hype, subscription service tiers, monopolies, service-services, gig indirections, consultants, charlatan management, etc.

    You still can do that in an efficient system, but you can fit - like - five parasites there instead of five hundred.
